already been carried out. Plants arc to be put
along the terrace front to hide and decorate the
rock. Below the terrace trees are to be set out,
but not so that they will obscure the view
from above.
On the low ground rambling walks will be
laid out, carrying the visitor through seques-
tered hooks. The walks will be made SO level
that an invalid can ride In wheel chair.
1t was originally intended thSt between the
southern part Of the walks on the lower ground
and the base Of the declivity on the south side
OF 10th street there should be lake. This
plan has been abandoned. and the space will
be filed In with turf. with trees planted around

to fringe the bank OF O pretty lake. Il required.
There will be no exhibition building In the

will be planted q miniature forest. To enable
people to cross the park at night crosswalks will
be built at 10th and 120th bordered with
iron fences having gates whore other walks in

and the crosswalks will be lit with electricity.
Messrs. Olmstead and yaux believed that
those improvements could be made for the

The Park Com missioners adopted the plans
recommended In the report, and referred the
report under the law, to the Board OF Estimate
and Apportionment, with tho request that the
Board set apart the S250000 as recommended.
The Commissioners also directed Park En-

THE VERDICT.
At 10 o'clock, after a delberation OF four
and half hours, the jury brought in q
verdict OF guilty. On the first ballot the
jury stood seven for acquttal and five for
conviction. Balloting continued, and an
other juror was won over TO the side OF
conviction. The jury then stood six to
six for some time, until finally the six for
acquittai yielded and agreed on a convic-
ton. As they filed into court they
bore expressions that plainly indicated that
their verdict was adverse TO Most. He
looked at them and his face flushed with
excitement. Foreman Goodwin announced
the verdict, and said 1--WE find the de-
PENDANT guilty" The jury was then
pollcd, and everyjuryman answered quiet

ments on a motion for a new trial. Law
